anyways this is still only partly thought-out but I’ve been cooking up ideas for the purpose of eliatrope wings, why eliatropes insist on wearing hats to hide said wings even around their own people (despite living on a planet when they were the only people/species for a time) etc etc
it’s hardly original but just like how oropo basically forced him and yugo to combine into one body, I thought that maybe the wings act as extensions of an eliatrope’s spirit and can go beyond the body in order to connect or reside elsewhere
basically the wings act as gateways to the mentalities of others
because of this, the eliatropes wear hats not only around other species but their own as well in order to provide a security from that type of connection. it’s not to say that they view this ability as bad, but they hold a respect for reserving one’s own thoughts and feelings for oneself. such interactions between two or more spirits is usually for more personal or intimate occasions. the hats act therefore as a double shield, protecting both the eliatrope’s physical weakness (the wings as a raw exposure of their soul) as well as their mental privacy and wellbeing from unwanted exposure
I absolutely love this idea and I just wanted to add on to it with my own hc/ observations
- I like to imagine that when one of the 6 og eliatrope dies, it’s their physical body that dies and their spiritual one returns to the Dofus to rest until their bodies are reincarnated. This would also explain how their sentient within the Dofus (at least from what I’ve heard)
- when eliatropes dies they lose their wings as a sign that their spiritual body has left and it’s just a matter of where it goes. For mortal/normal eliatropes they go into the afterlife in Incarnam while the og 6 go back into their Dofus.
- this is a rather stupid thought but I can envision that eliatropes like to ram their wings/horns with each other like animals with antlers do, and wearing the hat is also a safety measure or a sign passivity.
- Eliatropes work best as a group, almost like a coordinated hive mind, so similar to how all the kids worked together at the end of s2 to stop Qilby. I like to picture this phenomenon in contrast with the nature of dragons and how they’re individualistic.
this is so dumb but i had to get this off my chest so bad that i drew on the back of my assignment in class
i can’t explain it, maybe i’m crazy, but does the way s4/the great wave manga depict his bangs under his hood bother anyone else? (please i need someone to back me up on this i don’t wanna be alone with a hot take)
Personally I find it hard to take him seriously because that hood is just so big and goofy! It muffles his expressions too because all we get is a snippet of his face while the rest of him is just cape and hood. Idk if it's just me put I also feel like it makes him look uninviting and introverted, like he's hiding away from everyone in his little shell. It certainly does not help that his hair is poking out so oddly from the hood, I 100% see your rendition as an improvement because in the manga Yugo's hair kind of looks like a helmet/wig the way it wraps around him.
Warning(s): excessive language, more excessive than usual, blue lizards, clear loathing at its maximum capacity, old geezer slander, violence, hating on a bat who's got way too much damn time on her hands, mental fatigue, i'm tired, like I'm genuinely tired.
NOTICE: Quality of the images may look a bit blurry. Sorry about that. Thank you @laneylunen for sharing me the much better quality before I cropped the parts I needed 💀😅. I was also very tired for this. Everything is repeatable, I just gotta fast forward this bullshit.
....
No.
I'm done.
I thought I could take it. At least one more round.
I wanna tear something up. Like right now.
Cuz what the fuck are we doing at this point?
A few days ago, I attempted to guess what would happen on each chapter in this post right here, and I swear I WAS RIGHT.
If you haven't seen it, I was basically saying how Astra would most likely get pissed her banquet had been interrupted AND would not be fazed that it had been Yugo and Amalia ruining it. I also said that it'd be weird af for her not to react because she hadn't been alerted by her royal staff.
And guess what?
I was only wrong about one thing.
Just one.
EVERY SINGLE ROYAL AND HIGH SOCIETY ASSHOLE ARE UNFAZED ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Just what the fuck!?!?
Why?!?!?!
We first start off with colored pages like the start of every volume. And yeah this looks like actual animal food the two blue bozos should get rammed over a mishatte.
I can literally see a lobster, A FUCKING SEA ANIMAL. I feel like I care more about their traditions than they do cuz they genuinely committed massive taboo in front of each other and in public as well. I'm still weirded out that Astra and her wife have even let animal food in too. Like even if they had no choice to bring in animal food for the other guests (because not everyone is vegan), THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO PLACE THE FUCKING PLATES IN FRONT OF TWO OSAMODAS.
Regardless if the two queens know that Aurora and her dad are frauds or not, YOU DO NOT PUT ANIMAL PLATES IN FRONT OF TWO OSAMODAS.
Yall why tf am I the one who's pissed about this and not the actual osamodas??? Be so fr rn this is bullshit.
Anyways, let's go back to talking about how no one is shocked that two world leaders cut off some stupid party.
Astra has the audacity to reject a WORLD LEADER who had been let in by ONE OF HER PEOPLE.
This doesn't make a lick of sense.
It literally doesn't. None of this feels right. Look, I get that these two burst into your sorry excuse of a banquet but why are you saying they are not guests?? THEY ARE YOUR ALLIES WHO SAVED THE WORLD. It doesn't matter what kind of petty shit you have against them just cuz you wanna be racist; if they're capable of beating the shit out of a demigod WHO HAD LITERAL DOFUS UP HIS ASS, YOU DON'T TRY TO CUT THEM OUT OF A STUPID BANQUET.
Also what the fuck is up with her calling Aurora "Dame" but then calls Amalia by her first name?????????
We also get to finally learn what the two blue cunts' last names are. Corvus. Like fucking crows. Ugly ass name. They don't even have a dragon-sounding name, nah. Instead, they got crows. Crows are cool by themselves, but these bitches make these birds look ugly as fuck.
Like bitch are we being serious right now???
You do realize that Aurora ran away in the Necrome war right?? What the hell have you guys been talking about before Amalia came in the room? Politics? That sounds wrong cuz why the fuck would y'all be talking about that serious shit AT A BANQUET????
Were you seriously trying to talk to Aurora and her gorilla dad in a banquet that had music???
Amalia is fully in the right to be pissed. No one knows if the two blue rats told Astra the truth about what happened in the Necrome war and when they came back to the sadidas. I feel like no one knows anything and they're just trying to purposely give more shit to Yugo and Amalia.
I know this is just to give more reasons to Yugo to flood the entire world. And please let it happen. I just don't care anymore. I really don't. I'm just so tired. Everytime I keep reading a chapter, I get so fucking angry and it's not even funny anymore. Either it's because of the two blue devils, Astra, the weird stupid political laws that don't make sense, or just the people outside of the Sadida Kingdom, I don't care anymore.
Like I said I'm fucking tired.
How are the Bonta queens not sensing any suspicious activities from this wretched abomination that should have died in the womb?
They see the "sadida queen" looking obviously fake and bringing up "proof" that she can tell Amalia wasn't around in the Sadida Kingdom for the ONE YEAR that she's been living there.
Yes.
The blue rat is telling the Queen of Bonta that she couldn't tell how Amalia could possibly know who she is as a person because she hasn't seen her in the measly one year that she's been living in the Sadida Kingdom.
Bitch are you okay? Yeah, no shit Sherlock. IT'S ONLY BEEN A FUCKING YEAR AND YOU EXPECT AMALIA TO KNOW YOU BY HEART???
She really thought she ate here, besides the animal meat she consumed a second ago.
How are you going to tell the Queen of Bonta that Amalia can't tell who you are as a person because you stayed there for just a year?? BITCH YOU JUST PROVED HER POINT.
This is the thing about the Corvus family's logic. They suck so badly, they think their losses are their wins. Like that time they fled a war that was going to end the entire fucking race they were supposed to lead, and that time where they were two against one AND STILL FUCKING LOST (not to mention lost against someone who was supposed to be a fucking family member who was weirdly supposed to leave when they would get the Sadida throne, which again, doesn't make any sense cuz Amalia was fucking born there).
Like do you see the shit I gotta deal with, let alone address??
I gotta say the embarrassing shit out loud so that everyone gets to hear how mentally brain dead these two osamodas truly are.
Seriously, how did Astra not figure out that they're the scum of the earth simply by looking at their snarky faces?? Aurora literally jabbed Amalia with her dead father and Astra doesn't blink. Woman, this is a blue cow who is talking very crudely about her father-in-law and she doesn't feel shame about it.
Who let these people in charge??
Who let anyone in charge???
I'm so glad Astra dies, because we later see Joris becoming king of Bonta in Waven. I don't know how that will happen exactly, but I can't wait to see how it'll go down later on.
I was so fucking right when I said Aurora's the type to talk shit to someone and then not backing it up. She's exactly the type to shit her pants the second someone starts fighting her. I already talked about it here.
Weak ass dickhead. And Astra is seeing all this shit too. You don't see her reprimanding Aurora for talking in such a crass manner about the past Sadida King. Disgusting behavior from both useless women.
And then we got Yugo over here who's not letting his wife touch the blue specimen, and instead teleports her outside.
Either he's got massive balls of steel for pulling that shit on her, or he knows he'll get his ass handed to him when he leaves.
And then we end it with the two bozos "discreetly" smirking at each other thinking they won something after talking shit to a family member ABOUT a dead family member.
But regardless, this chapter is finally over.
Like I said, I'm fucking tired. I don't want to see the Bonta queens or the Corvus for a long time. I hate everyone there. I hate all of them.
I have nothing left to say. I just feel like I'm repeating myself everytime I talk about the blue rats.
Based on what we can see from the sneak peek of the next chapter, Yugo and Amalia are gonna be in some other location AWAY from the bullcrap that just happened. So I like to think that that's good news for me, everyone, and my sanity.
Confusion upon confusion is all that they've delivered with this chapter. Astra's outlash makes no sense; wouldn't you be kind to the rulers of the literal kingdom under YOUR nation??? From what I've heard the Sadida Kingdom seems to fall under Bonta's domain, and yet it's hard to fathom why they set them aside so easily! The Sadida kingdom is literally home to an entire race, and its considered the "lungs of the WoT"!! There's truly no reason to be siding with the Osamodas instead of people under YOU. It's also logically stupid to side with the Osamodas's instead of the Sadida's because at the end of the day you need plants before meat! For heaven's sake they let in someone from a winery attend the banquet but not the leaders of the PLANT kingdom that dedicate their lives to cultivating and caring for the very plants you're eating??
Somewhat related, but it makes no sense for the Osamodas's to be enemies of the Sadida kingdom when their animals are shown to chow down on herbs and berries. The sadida + osamodas kingdom combo would be invincible, plants and animals just makes sense to go together since it's nature! But i guess that's another plot point they'll leave to gather dust.
That being said, thank you again @cocogum for another review! It's nice to finally join the displeased crowd
Chibi in the s4 OVA is…ok? I personally like the one from the manga a lot more, mainly bc of my own personal headcannons for him. I like to think he just lives in a cave filled with random stuff for months and when he comes out he’s made something absolutely insane somehow and everybody’s like 😦 and he acts like inventing the hologram is no biggie and goes back to his little cave like nothing ever happened.
how did the eliatrope people have such advanced tech but such plain clothes? Did they put all their efforts into tech, or is Chibi the only thinker out here.
Do the Eliatropes have antlers, wings or antenna’s? Cuz I see a lot of people say they’re “wakfu wings”, which makes sense because they can fly when they take their hats off. But it also begs the question as to why they use portals if they can just fly.
I adore the Les Gardiens eliatrope designs, as well as their in game counterparts. Sucks that in Wakfu they’re kinda plain, except for Qilby.
I’d like to imagine that the Eliatrope goddess used to have body, and that she simply had no neck. Maybe the other gods guillotined her or smth, idk.
This is more of a hc but in the manga it mentions Yugo and Adamai as in bodying the spirit of adventure and courage, and just because of that I’d like to imagine they specialized in some sort of Earth-y magic ( maybe plants/animals?) It’d be a cool because it would coincide with Amalia being a Sadida.
Amalia needs a little bit more attention in the show. She used to have a little more ✨pizzazz ✨but now her character kinda revolves her family and Yugo now.I feel like so much could be done with her ( her connection to the Tree of Life, the illness and death of both parents, being the last of her family, the many suitors she’s had come for her as a princess, etc). I know that she’s matured, but to me it seems as if they’ve forgot some small elements about Amalia’s character early on ( her love of fashion, her dedication to Sadida principles, how she liked to sing, stuff like that yk).
I think Salar's tail is omitted from this design because it's his human form. Neither Grugo's nor Balthzars in their human form had a tail, so I think the only reason Adamai has one is because he's like a hybrid of both dragon/human. Also lil hc: Adamai is bald, which sucks, none of his others siblings are lol.
As of right now, I have decided to rationalise the Eliatropes' obsession with wearing cloaks and capes as a nod to their goddess, since her season 4 design brings to mind the idea that her hair covers her entire body (never mind she seems to be 95% hair and 5% face...). It's the only acceptable explanation for such a lack of diversity in their designs.
Few other things that I’d like to think as why theyre dressed like that:
a. The goddess dressed them all like that as a sweet lil motherly orderly except she has no clue how clothes work
b. Aren't they from the same dimension the children were kept? Based off that, the fact that time works differently, and their lack of parents I like to think that they have zero clue on how to sew ( cuz I think Balthazar taught magic n stuff, so domestic work is probably is taught by parents)
c. This is literally just their traditional “doing serious stuff” attire.
d. They all don’t gaf b/c they’ve got ppl to do and lives to save, so they threw on whatever.
I wish they could’ve carried on with designs similar to Les Guardiens. 😔 But oh well.. we’ll feed ourselves here
